AI proponents always point out how great things will be with more AI, but they casually ignore that “the bad guys” will also have AI.

It lets you pay for the oncoming lawsuit

The demo looks pretty impressive, but it’s a prerecorded demo we know nothing about. SO many AI companies have been lying about their benchmarks.

Don’t worry, this is a feature of the blockchain!

Lack of oversight is something all the users want, so obviously, everyone is fine with this.

Oh look, it’s the world’s most widely distributed choir. None of the members can hear each other, but you’re all perfectly in tune.

The US war of independence started mostly because super rich shipowners didn’t like the idea of tea not having to be transported to London first, but could come directly from India and Indonesia.

That would save a ton of money for the American colonists, but it would cut out all those wealthy shipowners (and smugglers) who ran the London-America routes.

So they lied to the people do their dirty work for them.

US government: “Location tracking is bad and dangerous”

Also US government: “We’re not going to ban it, because that’ll cost corporations money”

Also US government: “We’ll just tell everyone to turn it off, so that it’s their own fault from now on!”

I dislike this fact, because I very clearly remember when it was brand spanking new

I even go as far as making it personal liability for upper management

This needs to be a thing for SO many things across the board, from personal data to ecological damage and unsafe working conditions. Not just upper management, everyone down the chain. If Bob the (qualified)intern did it, Anna the manager checked it and Charlie the CEO approved it, they ALL need to get punished.

Not as funny when they do it to you, huh Russia?

For reference, Gazprom is wholly owned by the russian state, as is their bank.

But don’t worry, crypto is awesome! Surely, it has a system in place to deal with events like this, just like the traditional financi… what’s that? This is a feature, not a bug?

Yes, but not competent ones.

Let’s hope the destroy themselves before they elect competent fascists instead of this bunch

Exactly. Basically nobody in their 30s can, say, drive a manual car without a synchro, unless they specifically practiced it, because there is zero need to learn that skill. And basically nobody under 20 can set port forwarding on a router because there is basically zero need for that skill.

When I wanted sound on Arkanoid, I HAD to learn IRQ settings, so I did. But now that stuff just works.

Can you truly brick a computer just by adjusting GRUB? Seems like a very fixable problem for someone who can make an LLM rush bash commands. Then again, that is a supremely dumb thing to do.

The Python-based tool was designed to generate and execute bash commands based on natural language input.

Emphasis mine, because anyone who does this might as well let a toddler bash the keyboard. The toddler will most likely just break the keyboard, instead of the whole machine.

Some of the wiring seems original

This is the perfect AI niche. Making something mediocre that resembles an already existing pile of mediocre material.

What? Are you telling me that “baby one more time.mp3.exe” I got off of Napster isn’t actually reliable? Gasp!

Yeah, 70 bucks buys a LOT of disposable ones though. It’s probably worth it at some point, but not at my amount of abrasive filament use.
